After the XMPP love commits this week, I wanted prepare a graph with the rhythm of the Openfire releases in JS.
The idea is to parse the changelog and draw a timeline from the dates.
As CORS blocks arbitrary xmlHttpRequest from browsers, it's not possible to fetch the changelog and transform it from the client-side JS code.
I so wrote a small microservice to provide datasources ready to consume by other tools at rAPIDS.
